Trainee teacher NQT data request.
Dear Esher College,
I am writing to make an Open Government request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If, however, this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist those who request information from you.
Firstly, from your most recent complete cohort data, how many teacher trainees successfully completed their training?
Secondly, how many of those same trainees were on an NQT placement at the end of their training, compared with how many were not employed (by a school full time) at the end of their training.
Lastly, How many of those same trainees were employed through a supply agency?
I understand that under the Act, I am entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm by email that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Luke Jacob
Your Freedom of Information request has been received by Esher College.

Dear Luke,
Trainee teachers come to us for one PGCE placement from Roehampton
University and also from University College London Institute of Education.
Please contact them for the details you require as they assess the
trainees and award the teaching qualification. It is likely they would
also have data on their subsequent employment.
We have recently started a program to train our own teachers. They take a
part time PGCE at Reigate College awarded by Greenwich University.
However, this has not yet been completed by a cohort.
Kind regards,
Dr Hilary Thomson
(Manager of Initial Education, Esher College)
